About: I grew up in a 3-dog household, and I have experience caring for dogs from puppy to senior, as well as minor diabetic care. I can also care for everything from low-energy to high-energy breeds. I also volunteered at a cat shelter and have some additional experience with foster kittens. I love all animals and also have some experience with fish and reptiles! Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine when I am home. I make time to ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive attention throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I prioritize their health, happiness, and overall well-being while balancing my other responsibilities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being while following their normal routines as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, have bathroom breaks, and get plenty of attention and playtime. For dog walking, I provide safe, enjoyable walks that match each dog's energy level and exercise needs. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always follow the owner's instructions carefully and make sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am also happy to share updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m attentive, patient, and adaptable to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, or simply companionship and cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel happy and comfortable. My patience and calm approach are especially helpful when caring for puppies who are still learning routines and senior dogs who may need extra support, gentleness, and attention. I work full-time during the week, which allows me to offer pet care services after 5 PM Monday through Thursday, along with open availability on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and happy to accommodate special requests, including extended stays and flexible care arrangements whenever possible. I always prioritize safety and comfort while caring for animals. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I supervise pets during walks, playtime, meals, and outdoor time. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where pets can feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for.

She was punctual and responsive while taking care of our senior dog and young puppy, even checking on our cats as well. She left the house in order and the pets happy. We will definitely book again!”

About: I have 7 years of adult experience, by this I mean actual dog sitting and raising my own pup. However, since I can remember, I have always been comfortable with dogs. I was 9 when my family got our first dog (a boxer!) and since then I always found myself falling into some form of a caretaker role. Of course when you grow up and get your own dog you realize how easy you had it when it was the family dog. By raising and training my own dog, Roo, I have learned more about patience, unconditional love and responsibilities than I thought possible. In college I would dog and house sit for families here and there, usually for weekends at a time so I am comfortable being in YOUR space with your pets for more than just drop ins. Along with being a dog mom, I am a plant mom and will happily care for your plant babies too! Starting on 5/12/25 I’m beginning a new full time job that requires me to be in office (Coventry) M-F 8am - 4:30pm. I will update my schedule frequently to show availability once I switch to a hybrid schedule. On the days I can work from home I will I have the flexibility to be with a dog 24/7. I am an early riser and will gladly do the needful in those scary morning hours. I am a home body and don’t typically go out for long periods of time on the weekends. I will ALWAYS make sure there is water for the dog and I fully understand adhering to strict eating rules and schedules. My own dog has a super sensitive stomach, so I will take all food instructions with the utmost seriousness. I’m not the spoil-my-child-rotten type, however, my dog is allowed on all furniture (outside of tick season) and is given at least 3 sessions of fetch or a walk daily. I will respect your home rules even if they differ from my own.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring both reliability and genuine care to every pet I work with. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and pets with unique personalities. I have my own 8-year-old chow-shepherd mix, so daily long walks, patience, and attentive care are already a huge part of my routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of slower pacing, medication routines, mobility awareness, and extra comfort and patience. Whether your pet loves active walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. I’m dependable, observant, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and caring for my own dog every day. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals attention and care, so incorporating pet care into my weekly schedule is something I truly look forward to. I adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, giving medicine, potty breaks, check-ins, cuddle time, or simply providing calm companionship, I’m happy to do it all! I know how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to follow the owner’s instructions closely while giving every animal plenty of attention, patience, and care.

About: I've had several pets since I was young, but many of which I had to let go due to frequent moving and lack of accommodation. My forever friend however was a chihuahua belonging to my aunt/uncle that I loved dearly but unfortunately passed from old age. I have experience in basic command and obedience training. My main skillset is my patience, I believe that's a key trait for anyone looking to care for pets as they do require a lot of supervision and mistakes are inevitable until they can fully develop self-control and obedience through careful and loving training and attention. Currently, studying to obtain a skillset in programing, I have additional time on hand when outside of studies which I can use for additional income. Studies are at my pace, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and still fulfill my obligations. I'll ask some intake questions about any special care or concerns owners might have and follow up with additional questions about the pets regular habits. I can provide most forms of care, like a safe environment, regular feedings, medicine administration, basic training, bathroom breaks, and just general company. I have a yard, though it is partially open, but nearby is a fenced park that I can visit for those comfortable with their dog socializing with other canines.

About: I've cared for animals my whole life, including those with medical needs or on specialized diets. I'm used to the dirty work and want your pet to feel extra cared of! I'm used to friendly pets or those who need more space. I can handle it all and will communicate all updates to you quickly. I have early and evening availability until mid-August and then open availability. I'm happy to do early early mornings or later nights, and have a vehicle so can get wherever you need. I've been a house-sitter for years and respect your space immensely! I'm a trusted caregiver in my day-job (all my jobs have required background and CORI checks) and I communicate any and all changes, so you never feel left out of the loop.

Jordan was great with my cats, even though one of them was too shy most of the time to come out. My other cat got a lot of attention and enjoyed playing with Jordan. Jordan is reliable, communicates well, and it's apparent that she loves caring for all kinds of pets. I would have Jordan come back anytime!

Hannah helped us out agreeing to a drop-in visit on short notice. She did a great job tending to our 10 ½ yr. old chocolate lab, fed him, gave him his medications, walked and played with him and sent photos during her visit. We were pleased and appreciative of her help and would definitely recommend her services.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Wakefield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wakefield is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,847 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wakefield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wakefield. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
